Wierdly, Anne and I had never had anything from this dynamite value producer before a nice visit there during the offline last summer. It just hadn't shown up on any shelves in these parts. Now, however, it's starting to appear here and there. This one was a great value. A deep ruby color, nose and flavors of currant and cherry, and balanced and subdued use of oak. Finished clean, with some silky tannins. Just a well put together wine for $12. 13.5% alc. Great for "during the week" quaffing. Consumed over two nights.
